Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1026871A2] Techniques for generating interactive voice response systems are provided using multiple interconnected general-purpose blocks (or processing units or steps) 201, 403, 603, 607, 611. These can be configured for a specific IVR application. Each general purpose block can include prompts for the user and logic for receiving input from the user. By utilizing general-purpose blocks, complex IVR applications can be quickly and efficiently generated. Additionally, IVR applications can be upgraded and maintained during run-time. <IMAGE>
